Install Sauron

Sauron is a web based manager for ISC DNS & DHCP services, comparing to the well known web config tools such as Webmin, phpDhcpAdmin, it's so small.Ok Let's install on our CMTS server:

 

1.System request

My Ubuntu Server:

Linux vmlinux 2.6.32-21-generic-pae #32-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 16 09:39:35 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux

Install requested package:

1)PostgreSQL : apt-get istall postgresql

2)Perl , it's already installed .skip

3)Perl modules : Net::DNS / Net::Netmask / DBI / DBD::Pg It's the first time install Perl modules. Some problems, goole it@@@. Command :

cpan>install Net::Netmask

cpan>install Net::DNS

cpan>install DBI

cpan>install DBD::Pg

Note : install DBD::Pg need the PostgreSQL configure utility "pg_config", apt-get install libpq-dev will install it.

4)tar -zxvf sauron-0.7.3.tar.gz ; cd sauron-0.7.3.tar.gz ; ./configure && make && make install

OK, all have install , last do not forget our major role : DHCP-Server & Bind, apt-get install dhcp-server bind

 

2.Configuration

1)Initial PostgreSql database.

Firstly,export postgresql binary path to system PATH

export PATH=/usr/lib/postgresql/8.4/bin:$PATH

next, initial command:

sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/pgsql/data

sudo chown $UID:$UID -R /usr/local/pgsql/data

initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data

postmaster -D /usr/local/pgsql/data

If postmaster execute is running without any error, kill it with Ctrl+c, run again in background :

postmaster -D /usr/local/pgsql/data > logile 2>&1

{Refer to chinese manual of PostgreSQL : }

2 cd to sauron install folder , on my server it's ~/soft/sauron/sauron

command :

createdb sauron

./createtables

./status

If not any errors , congratulation!

Last step , check perl modules:

./status --version
